    Hear, hear.  I've asked for this for YEARS.

    Perhaps with an optional fourth argument, representing "i know the verb
    i'm asking about isn't +x, but CALL IT ANYWAY".  Of course, this would
    quite possibly break an awful lot of "caller == this" checks but presumably
    a wizard overriding call_verb() would take that into consideration.
